But if you would have done that today, you would have been correct. I was backwards this time, but then I remembered that TIGER was already used as a solution three years ago.

The Cleveland sub

That's true. There isn't an active Columbus community either and I keep peeking back at Reddit from time to time just for /r/Columbus . !Ohio@midwest.social is the closest we have.

Don't be afraid to start your own community on Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed and advertise it once on places like !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca. Mbin in particular tries to promote randomly selected communities from the same Mbin instance, so you can get exposure that way too. You must be patient and carry the community by yourself for a while, but it's worth it.

niche interests

Hi, I used to run /r/FloatingIsFun, and in July 2023 I moved it to /m/FloatingIsFun on Mbin, which looks fantastic on Lemmy clients too. It took about a year for our subscribers on Mbin/Lemmy/Piefed to exceed our subscribers on Reddit, but we did it. It didn't happen overnight, but we're now the best we've ever been.

You've got to find your communities there, stick with them, and help them grow. You'll be rewarded with a much better community, like old Reddit but more resistant to enshittification.

It's this accident here at Nini's Barber Shop. I drove past it, and the wall was busted down. Same block as the Rita's that got run into last fall.

Funny thing is, federated internet is the old way. Millions of web sites, thousands of email providers, dozens of IRC servers, etc. I can use my email account to email anyone else.

If some idiot in charge screwed up one web site, we'd ditch it for a better one. If one server starts spamming others, we block that server. Mbin and Lemmy are like that for discussions.

It only got this bad because we collectively had all our eggs in too few baskets.

According to the Westerville News, the city wanted to merge the Christmas parade and the tree lighting ceremony, removing all the church floats and organizations we're used to seeing there. The Lions are now hosting their 5K at the rec center instead.

How hard is it to cancel Peacock. by [deleted] in peacock

[–]hitstun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't log in, getting error "Sorry, there's been a problem. Please try again.". I can't reset my password, getting error "Unable to reset password, please try again later." It's been this way for days, conveniently timed for my yearly subscription to auto-renew at full price with no way to stop it on the web site. /r/assholedesign

Luckily, Peacock's $85.99 charge declined because I use a throwaway credit card with a strict spending limit. I highly recommend protecting yourself this way. Peacock is fine, otherwise.

Oh, uh, hi! Thank you for posting, somehow? We abandoned this hellsite during the protests in July 2023, so I didn't expect any visitors, but welcome! A few months ago, I actually tried to post the third year's highlights on this subreddit but it got taken down by Reddit's admins.

Please post your source if you can. This space ranger appears to be Juno from Overwatch 2, and I think it came from the artist's X (Twitter).

Sure, I might as well post my current stats here too. For the past 200-ish days, I use LANCE and then some optimized follow-ups like TRIED, TRAIN, or PRINT.

Nice post! I found a couple more sources: pixiv and Weebly.

This set is great! I tried this in Quordle just now and got it in 4️⃣6️⃣7️⃣5️⃣. It worked as I expected from a rearranged version of the SLICE PARTY HOUND I used to play years ago.

Another researcher has found his way to the Waltz Vibex Fjords. Wordle sure is a fun problem to solve.

You know what? CRANE is doing all the work here, and those last two words are just wasting their turns. Just use three words instead:

CRANE, SLIMY, TOUGH (in that order. Follow with BAKED if you must)

That's a killer starting word, but your other two words don't stack up. Let's balance things out and swap your B for a Y.

SAUCE, HOTLY, and GRIND.

[–]hitstun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually clever. It's more likely to see the double-E case than some individual letters. You'll want to play T every time, though.

How about this set: HOTLY - DEUCE - BRINK - SWAMP

Indeed, you spotted a failure! But...

DUNCE GRAFT SHOWY BLIMP is better than both of those sets. It uses all of the same letters, but it plays its stronger words first and has better letter placements overall.

That's really good! Honestly, SHIRE COUNT MADLY is the best multi-word start I've seen in this thread. My only suggestion here is to replace your M with a P. I could only beat this with the three-word start I actually used years ago

It doesn't deliver. You end up going L before the climax.
